ANA Board of Directors
May 2025 – May 2026
Tom Hedrick, Secretary
Tom and his wife Sharon have lived in Minneapolis since 2007, all this time in the Armatage neighborhood. Tom and Sharon’s daughter Emily will be graduating from Drake University this month. Tom was an active volunteer at Armatage elementary school and at Southwest High School when Ellie was there, particularly on Southwest’s Performing Arts Council. Since retiring recently, Thomas found more time to seek new connections and spend more time supporting this great neighborhood. Tom is a first-time board member.
Nikki Lindberg, Treasurer
Nikki has lived in Armatage since 2002, where she and her husband raised two girls (now mostly launched). She has previously served on the ANA board and worked as a coordinator for several Minneapolis neighborhoods. Her communications, non-profit, and project management skills add to her experience working for neighborhoods and with the city. She is thrilled to be part of an active and engaged board that strives to bring compassion for people and planet through community activities.
Eli Johnson
A resident of Minneapolis since 2012, Eli and his wife Emily moved to Armatage in 2017 with the mindset of starting a family. They now have two crazy but adorable little monsters–er, that is, boys. They were drawn by the great proximity to parks, lakes, restaurants, but all with a quiet residential vibe that makes Armatage a wonderful place to call home. Eli loves his involvement with ANA to help promote community engagement and taking action to make this neighborhood a better place for all. Eli has worked as a residential real estate advisor for 16 years, and truly loves his job in helping people through some of the biggest chapter transitions of their lives.
Ryan Tvenge, President
Ryan grew up in Eagan, MN. He and his partner, Liz moved back to Minnesota after being away for 12 years. He is a Web Developer and has run WordCamps in Seattle and Minneapolis. He loves to get involved in the community and meet others in the neighborhood. His hobbies include home improvement, riding roller coasters (Cedar Point is his jam!) and playing hockey.
Charlie Wolfe, CC Chair
Originally from Florida, Charlie met his wife in New York, and together they moved back to Minnesota, her home state, in 2000. Charlie has two sons, both graduating this spring – one from college and the other from Southwest High School. He joined the ANA to help serve Minneapolis at the most basic level – his own neighborhood. In his free time, Charlie likes to be outside, bike, cook (‘cause he really likes to eat) and spend time with friends who live in the neighborhood.
Nick Feldewerd
Nick and his wife Beth have lived in the Armatage Neighborhood since September of 2021. They like the quiet area with good schools, while still being part of an energetic city. They and their four children like to travel, stay active and to be adventurous.
Denis Houle, Vice President
Denis and his wife Rebecca have lived at 57th and Upton since 1996 and raised two sons, Anton and Dmitri, there. Denis first served on the Armatage Neighborhood Association for approximately 15 years beginning in the early 2000s, and has returned after a brief hiatus. He also represented southwest Minneapolis on Neighborhood Community Engagement Commission for six years during the 2010s, and actively participated in the Neighborhoods 2020 process. He hopes to bring his historical perspective and knowledge, his willingness to participate and his love for Armatage and its residents to the board.
